Just one day removed from the not so shocking revelation by Philadelphia head coach Andy Reid, that the Eagles are listening to offers for All-Pro quarterback Donovan McNabb, the first offer has apparently hit the table, and it’s a big one.

According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Rams have offered up restricted free agent safety Oshiomoho Atogwe and St. Louis’ second round pick (#33 overall) in this year’s draft in exchange for McNabb. The deal is still being considered at this point by the Eagles, but McLane feels that an agreement could be in place between the two clubs as soon as tonight, if Philadelphia decides to go with Kevin Kolb as their starter next season.

For his part, McNabb has been quiet on the issue of being traded this off-season, and while he has made it fairly clear that he would prefer to finish his career with a championship caliber team, his familiarity with several key members of the Rams coaching staff could sway his opinion and convince McNabb to sign an extension should a trade be finalized. St. Louis offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and head coach Steve Spagnuolo were both assistants under Reid with the Eagles during McNabb’s tenure there.

As always, we’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.
